“In terms of beauty, I’m not so into super polished looks. I like something a little natural, a bit wild, and quirky. That kind of look works with me as well, because I have red hair and my teeth are a little funny. I like that about other people, like Vanessa Paradis and Jane Birkin. I also love classic beauty — Isabelle Adjani, to me, is the classic ideal of beauty, especially in the movie, Le Reine Margot. She looks perfect with her lips, her pale skin, and I think her entire look is just so beautiful. I like strong aloof French …

“Being a Latin American girl, I always think of makeup as a second skin. It’s part of a woman’s way of getting dressed. I have a mother who would not leave the house without curling her eyelashes or having lipstick on. She was someone who was always made up and put together, though never in an excessive way, always very elegant with makeup done in a very natural way.

My first experiences with makeup were definitely when I was really little, maybe 6 or so. My grandmother would get the Clinique gift-with-purchase and she would always give me …

“I’ve always loved makeup. What girly girl doesn’t? It’s the first thing you can really start to play with and steal out of your Mom’s bag and all that sort of fun stuff. Playing with lipsticks when I was a kid, I finally figured out you don’t need to put it all over your face.

“My beauty philosophy is all about less is more. Enhancing your beauty while still feeling like yourself. I prefer a sun-kissed, healthy glow all year round so I created products like A Summer’s Kiss Face & Body Glow, A Perfect Mess Beach Hair, 2 X A Charm Blush/Bronzer as part of my exclusive beauty line for Sephora.
I used to buy makeup solely for the packaging and now I am actually intrigued by the enhancing and beautifying effects. I am lucky to have so many creative and inspiring girl friends and family members in my life, as well as being given the …
